Chapter 179 I’m afraid that love will tire the beauty
Allen truthfully recounted his experience in the fantasy.
Not surprisingly, I was ridiculed and ridiculed by other candidates.
It doesn't matter.
The most important thing is Elder Li's attitude.
Allen could tell that the elder was in a bad mood.
This can only be blamed on him being unlucky and getting the wrong script.
Elder Li is also an old man.
He has a daughter and son-in-law at home, as well as young and beautiful wives and concubines.
Involuntarily brought into Ellen's fantasy world, the father-in-law who unknowingly wore a cuckold.
How could I be in a good mood?!
He had every reason to hate Allen, but he couldn't say it directly, let alone use it as a reason to deduct points.
After all, Allen was in that kind of environment. In order to protect himself and to take revenge on his cheating wife and his discriminatory father-in-law, it was not too much to do that.
Elder Li, I just said it myself, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!
Allen lives up to his words.
Could he immediately change his stance and criticize Allen for being selfish and ignoring ethics?
Elder Li doesn't mind practicing double standards.
But he couldn't be so straightforward, it would cost him face.
We can only find another way and try to catch Allen from other angles.
Take advantage of this morally corrupt boy and deduct points from him!
With this thought in mind, Elder Li activated his "other mind communication".
A faint magical light appeared in his eyes, secretly scanning Allen's thoughts.
Outside the scope of the exam, peek into his privacy and see what shameful things he has done!
As soon as Elder Li's mental fluctuations radiated over...
Allen was immediately alert!
The level 4 requiem meditation method can resist level 4 other mental communication.
Cooperating with the system, you can also selectively hide your thoughts.
Allen can completely block Elder Li's prying eyes.
But he endured it.
I don’t want to look too special in front of the examiner.
If Elder Li wants to read minds, let him do it.
Anyway, Allen has long hidden important secrets, such as the Taotie system and the Poison Demon bloodline.
Elder Li, with his little knowledge, cannot see through this at all.
As for other things, there is no need for Allen to hide them.
He didn't lie anyway, so what's there to be nervous about?
However, the development of the situation gradually became outrageous.
Elder Li actually tried to probe into his cultivation realm and the origin of his apprenticeship outside of the illusion experience.
Allen endured it.
Let us assume that Elder Li did this just to rule out the suspicion of being a spy.
Then, Elder Li inquired about his family situation.
Allen also endured it.
In the end, it was Elder Li who couldn't bear it anymore.
He simply spread it out and asked Allen: "Answer honestly, what bad things have you done?"
Allen scratched his head.
This question is somewhat unexpected.
After trying hard to recall his experiences since time travel, Allen raised his head and met Elder Li's burning eyes.
He answered calmly: "I have never done anything wrong in my life."
"lie!"
Elder Li slapped his hand on the table, his face filled with indignation.
"You, a scoundrel who has no moral bottom line and seduces your mother-in-law into a position of power, can never have a clean conscience and a clear conscience!"
In fact, his angry rebuke also had elements of acting.
When he sternly questioned the examinee about what he had done wrongly, no matter how harsh his words were, he would still feel guilty and couldn't help but think about the wrongful things he had done in the past.
In this way, Elder Li's telepathy can sneak in and spy on the other party's privacy.
Seize the opponent's handle and use it as a bargaining chip in the future.
When this trick was used on Allen, the result surprised him.
The young man sitting across from the round table still had an indifferent expression on his face and no disturbance in his heart.
Elder Li couldn't help but get angry after reading his mind!
From his perspective, Allen is a scumbag with no moral and ethical bottom line. How can he have a clear conscience?!
Unless he is evil by nature and takes evil actions as a matter of course!
The devil, of course, does not think it is wrong to do evil, but is proud of it!
The more Elder Li thought about it, the more he realized it was true!
"You are evil in nature and have ulterior motives!"
"Failed the xinxing test! Get out!"
After enduring it to this point, Allen couldn't bear it anymore.
Frowning slightly, he looked down at the furious Elder Li.
"Elder, you say that I am evil by nature and have ulterior motives. Where is the evidence?"
"How can a person, from childhood to adulthood, never do anything wrong?!"
Elder Li roared sharply.
"I can't see that you have any remorse or guilt. This just shows that there is something evil in your heart!"
"Nine times out of ten, they are undercover agents sent by Hongyue Island!"
Allen couldn't help but laugh.
"If I were an undercover agent, I wouldn't have a clear mind and no guilt, making myself look suspicious."
"Perhaps you are playing hard to get and doing the opposite." Elder Li speculated darkly.
In the same room, the other five candidates saw the smell of gunpowder between Allen and Elder Li getting stronger and stronger, with different expressions.
Except for Renee, who looked confused and worried, the other four people mostly looked at the show and took pleasure in others' misfortunes.
Allen didn't want to continue playing the protagonist of a farce, so he took out Sister Lion's letter again and put it on the table.
"Elder, I have a personal letter from Ms. Maria here."
"That's Maria, nicknamed 'Lion Girl', the direct disciple of Master Shiva, the first master of the Cat Garden."
Allen said calmly.
"Maria is my adopted sister."
"In this letter, she endorses my origins."
"So, I can't be a spy."
When Elder Li heard what he said, his face looked uncertain.
The results of mind reading showed that everything Allen said was true.
He even downplayed his deep relationship with Maria in a modest way.
Elder Li certainly knows how fiery Maria's personality is.
If she drives away the young lover she is passionately infatuated with, she is destined to forge a deep hatred.
Elder Li pondered undecided.
Do you think it is necessary to offend the first direct disciple of the Cat Yard just to get a hold of Allen, to get angry with a junior?
"Ahem..."
Matthew suddenly broke into a dry cough.
"Brother Allen, why did you take out the letter of recommendation again?"
"Don't you remember the lesson we learned before?"
"The selfless Elder Li will not accept this trick!"
"You'd better put the recommendation letter away quickly to avoid being deducted another ten points!"
"Haha...who says it's not?"
Linda also had an unbalanced mentality and spoke strangely.
"Alan has a letter of recommendation, and I also have a letter of recommendation."
"Elder, we shouldn't treat them differently, right?"
"After all, the elder himself said that everyone will be treated equally!"
Allen looked at the two people and was speechless for a moment.
There are people like this in the world who always do things that are harmful to others and not beneficial to themselves.
Elder Li was so crowded out by Matthew and Linda that he couldn't get off the stage. He had to grit his teeth and hold on to the character he had set up.
Even if she goes out of her way to offend Maria!
"You kid, you have a sinister nature!"
"Fail means fail!"
"Even if you move the first one here, you still can't pass my level!"
Allen couldn't bear it anymore, and his words also had the smell of gunpowder.
"Excuse me, elder, what is the nature of mind?"
"What are the criteria for evaluating whether one's character is good or bad?"
“How much empirical data is there to support this set of evaluation criteria?”
"I have never done anything untoward, yet you call me sinister."
"Is it something to be proud of if you have done something wrong?"
"With all due respect, you are trying to inflict a crime!"
"Presumptuous!" Elder Li was so angry at the scolding that he got up and said, "You kid, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that!"
Just as he was about to have an attack, a ball of light suddenly appeared in mid-air.
In the center of the light ball, the flashing lion emblem is clearly the secret mark of Mary!
Allen held the ball of light, read Sister Lion's letter, and then wrote back frankly that he had encountered a little trouble.
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it!"
Maria, who was invigilating the exam in another examination room, angrily sent a letter directly to Elder Li.
"Old Cat! You don't have to give me face, I don't care."
"But let me remind you, Allen is of the blood of the Demon Leopard and has superior qualifications."
"He is only seventeen years old, and his cultivation level has reached the third level!"
"I have already reported Allen's matter to Master."
"Master is quite interested in him, it's up to you to decide!"
After reading Maria's letter, Elder Li couldn't help but wipe his hands in a cold sweat.
Now things are getting serious...
He just said that it would be useless even if the leader came.
But that’s just talk after all!
If you really dare to drive away the most promising genius, he will never be able to hang out in the cat yard again!
Elder Li is no longer an impulsive young man who can clearly understand what is light and what is heavy.
He sighed and silently gave Allen a 100 points.
As for the protests from other candidates...
He could only put on a shy old face and pretended to be serious:
"Fairness is indeed very important."
"But unfortunately, fairness is not the only important thing in this world."
"Maybe, this is life."
…
The character test is only the first level.
There will be actual combat testing later, which is the highlight.
Cat Courtyard, Sanhua Dojo.
The spacious courtyard is paved with large flat floor tiles.
Floor tiles come in three colors - yellow, black and white.
The colorful floor tiles are staggered, just like the color of calico cat's fur.
Surrounding the courtyard wall, bodhi trees are sparsely planted.
The plants are tall and straight, with green shade like a canopy.
Under the thickest tree, there is a long table and two chairs.
There is a first-aid kit on the table, which can be used by candidates when they are beaten to a bruised and swollen face.
The two examiners were sitting in armchairs, enjoying the cool air leisurely.
It's beyond everyone's expectation.
In the examination room of the Cat Courtyard, the examiner was not a cat warlock.
Both examiners are eighteen years old, younger than most candidates.
A bald young man in a green robe, tall and burly, with eyebrows as green as bodhi leaves!
This person's name is Baker, the deacon of Xiongyuan.
He looks a bit scary, but has soft eyes and a gentle temperament.
The young man in yellow robe is short and stocky, with a big round face, round eyes, double chin, and a simple and honest look.
This man's name is Hogg, and he comes from the Pig Yard.
The cultivation realms of the two young examiners are both in the early third level.
Same as Allen.
Since the two of them are qualified to be selected as examiners, their strength must be much stronger than that of warlocks of the same level.
The rules for the practical exam are very simple.
Candidates choose an examiner and initiate the challenge.
Candidates can also play in teams, two against two.
The time limit is five minutes. If the candidate is defeated, or the examiner is defeated by the candidate, the exam will end early.
In the last case, there is no precedent.
After the assessment, scores will be awarded based on individual performance.
The longer you persist in the exam room, the higher your score will be.
"The one with the highest actual score among the six candidates will be awarded an additional bottle of 'Heaven-Building Potion'!"
Baker pointed to the first aid kit on the table.
Allen had heard Teacher Sola talk about the Sky-Building Potion.
Those who take the injection for the first time have a high probability of improving blood purity.
Upgrading from low qualifications to medium qualifications, or from medium qualifications to high qualifications!
For those with superior qualifications, or those with a bloodline whose upper limit exceeds level five, the Heaven-Building Potion is basically ineffective.
It is almost impossible for a professional investor to have superior qualifications, let alone a high ceiling.
Otherwise, he would be taken seriously in the original sect, so why would he need to change his sect and lead an art master?
Generally speaking, this logic holds true.
This year, among the six candidates who are professional investment experts, five of them have intermediate qualifications.
The only exception is Allen.
He is so special.
Not only does he have superior qualifications, he also has the extremely rare "Demon Leopard Man" bloodline!
This is still the result of his reservations.
The true bloodline of the Poisonous Demonic Leopard Man came out of nothing and became its own ancestor!
It’s so shocking that I dare not make it public at all!
From this perspective, the Sky-Building Potion is the least useful to Allen.
But in the long run, it is good to keep this potion and use it to replace part of the potential when integrating other bloodlines in the future.
What's more, Alan smelled a faint, charming scent from the medicine box even when he was far away...
The smell of special ingredients!
Gudong!
Allen swallowed hard.
Sorry, other candidates should stay back and compete for second place!
I’ve decided on the Heaven-Building Potion!
The two examiners looked like they were not to be trifled with.
Without knowing the strength of the two examiners in advance, the candidates were confused.
So, single play or team play?
Candidates must choose their test-taking strategies carefully.
There is a gap in the cultivation level of the six candidates.
Early stage of the third level, Alan and Matthew.
Late second stage, Weber, Truth and Renee.
In the early stage of the second level, there is only one Linda at the end of the crane.
When forming a team, everyone considers more than just their cultivation.
The eyes of the five candidates naturally focused on Allen, and they all showed strong desire.
Classmate Allen has a high level of cultivation and a great backer!
How strong is his backing?
The selfless Elder Li couldn't afford to offend him, so he had to make an exception for him!
Elder Li is still afraid of Allen's backer.
Baker and Hogg, two young deacons, dare not give Allen face?
Allen came into the game and basically got a walk.
The two examiners dared not show mercy to him.
If you are lucky enough to team up with Allen, wouldn't you be able to follow him and benefit from it?
Everyone is not stupid.
The twists and turns here are easy to understand.
Therefore, Allen immediately became the star of the team!
"Brother Allen, you and I are both in the early stage of the third level, so we are most suitable for team challenge!"
Matthew spoke first.
Weber and Truth also put down their arrogance and took the initiative to invite.
"Senior Brother Allen, can you lend me a moment?" Linda smiled sweetly, "I have a little secret to share with you, which will be very helpful for us to get high scores in the next exam."
"Alan...well, I know the 'healing technique'." Renee shyly recommended herself, "Team up with me and I'll heal you."
Hu Niu didn’t grow such big breasts in vain, she really knows how to breastfeed...
Allen smiled politely.
"Thank you for your support, I need to think about it."
From the perspective of combat power matching, teaming up with Matthew seems to be the best solution.
However, Allen has not forgotten this guy's previous yin and yang aura.
He doesn't like Matthew who benefits himself at the expense of others.
Allen is sure to get a high score if he takes on Baker or Hogg.
Why let Matthew get a free ride?
Matthew is a scheming fellow who calls himself a hero.
I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down.
It's best not to expect a favor from such a person.
It is difficult to say whether he will use the method of physically annihilating his benefactor to completely settle this debt of gratitude.
Allen simply ignored Weber and Truth.
Linda is a bitch and has the weakest cultivation level.
However, she seems to have something.
This woman knows her stuff.
Finally, the silly sweet Renee with big breasts and no brains...
Allen wanted to support Renee.
This kind-hearted silly elder sister had a temperament that made him feel pity and pity for her.
However, Allen hardened his heart and gave up this idea.
He didn't want Renee to owe him this favor.
Otherwise, she would definitely risk her life to repay his favor.
She is too stupid and naive, but she still has the heart of a holy mother.
Doing bad things with good intentions is the most deadly!
Allen is very good at dealing with all kinds of scheming bitches, green tea bitches, and slutty bitches, but he can't handle a real white lotus like Renee!
To be honest, he was even a little afraid of Renee.
He was afraid that this stupid girl would be implicated by him and suffer misfortunes in the future because of her interaction with him, and she would even risk her own interests for him at all costs...
When Alan thinks of this, he gets upset!
Therefore, he deliberately kept a distance from Renee.
Not only did he not want to pick on Renee, but he also wanted to kick her hard in the butt and tell her to get out of here and never see her again!
The outside world is too complicated and dangerous. Rare animals like her should have become extinct long ago.
Going home, getting married, having a baby, and spending the rest of her life peacefully is the best ending for Renee.
Baker and Hogg had already heard about the conflict between Allen and Elder Li, and seeing the candidates scrambling to find Allen to form a team, it was not difficult to guess their plan.
"I would like to remind you that relationships and backgrounds do not apply to me and Hogg."
"We will not be particularly lenient to a certain candidate just because he has a backer in the Maoyuan."
When they first heard this, Matthew and others were quite disapproving.
Didn’t Elder Li initially have a selfless character who treated everyone equally?
What happened next?
Everyone saw the ugly behavior of being arrogant at first and respectful at the end.
Hogg's eyes swept across everyone's faces, seeing through their minds, and took over the conversation with a sneer.
"Don't think that we are just talking."
"Think about it for a moment. This is an exam for the Cat Courtyard. Why are we two examiners not from the Cat Courtyard?"
The candidates, including Allen, had already discovered this problem and were curious, waiting for Hogg to reveal the answer.
"A practical test is different from an interview."
"In order to prevent favoritism and fraud, a cross-examination model is adopted. The Cat Court and the Bear Court send people to serve as examiners for the Pig Court candidates."
"By analogy, the cat's house and the pig's house review the bear's house, and the pig's house and the bear's house review the cat's house."
"Silver Moon Monastery, the three branches are independent of each other."
"You candidates from the Cat Academy, your connections in the Cat Academy are nothing compared to our examiners from the Pig Academy or the Bear Academy."
"Baker and I have the confidence to say that we won't give face to anyone!"
What Hogg said makes sense.
The attitudes of the remaining five candidates diverged.
Since Allen's backer didn't work in this exam, Matthew's attitude towards him immediately cooled down.
His cultivation level is the same as Allen's, and he is five years older than Allen. He thinks he has more practical experience.
Instead of teaming up with Allen and being dragged down by this young man who has not yet grown up, it is safer to fight alone.
Renee and Linda's attitudes have not changed significantly, and they still prefer to team up with Allen first.
The most obvious changes in attitude were those of Weber and Truth.
The two of them knew in their hearts that they had no competitiveness in Allen's eyes.
It's unlikely that Allen would team up with them.
Since Allen's backing can't bring any benefits, they can't be hot-faced and cold-butt.
Unexpectedly, he turned to Renee.
"Junior Sister Renee, form a team with me and try to ensure that you pass the test!"
"It's better to cooperate with me, Junior Sister Renee, let's strive for good results together!"
Before, Renee had always been the object of ridicule.
At this moment, Weber and Truth suddenly paid attention to her.
She felt overwhelmed and flattered.
Allen watched this funny scene and couldn't help but laugh:
"You seem to have forgotten that you were mocking Renee not long ago?"
"When it comes time to find teammates, my body is quite honest!"
Weber and Truth looked embarrassed.
The reason why they took a liking to Renee and tried to get her to form a team was not only because of her strength, but also whether her teammates were trustworthy.
Except for Renee, who among everyone present is worthy of the word "good person"?
Everyone's character has been fully demonstrated in the previous illusion test.
Except for Renee, who is not a selfish person?
It's too silly to laugh at Renee, there's nothing wrong with the Holy Mother's heart.
But when it comes time to find a partner who works together, can you still laugh?
No matter how childish or silly Renee is, at least she is really kind-hearted.
She will not take the initiative to cheat her teammates. At critical moments, she is even willing to sacrifice herself to protect her teammates.
To put it bluntly, if you find someone like Renee as your teammate, you can not only trust her with your back, but you can also sell her if necessary and push her out to be used as a human shield or a scapegoat.
Such a perfect teammate can't be found even with a lantern.
Weber and Truth, two smart men, had this calculation in mind.
Unfortunately, Renee is not as stupid as they thought.
As she has grown up, she has been taken advantage of, suffered, and deceived, not just once or twice, but she will also learn a lesson.
Especially after Allen reminded her, Renee immediately came back to her senses.
There is no love without reason in this world.
Two men who looked down on her not long ago are suddenly so attentive to her. What kind of kindness can they have?
The flattered look on Renee's face turned into a look of accustomed helplessness.
She rejected Weber and Truth's overtures and ultimately chose to challenge the examiners alone.
In the practical exam, no one wants to take the lead.
They all expect others to go on stage first, test the waters, and watch by themselves to see clearly the strength of the examiner.
The more information you collect, the better your countermeasures will be.
However, no one is stupid, there must be someone who comes first, right?
If you don't come, I won't, and the atmosphere will be so awkward.
In the end, the good guy with the softest heart can only suffer the loss.
Renee appears first.
The other five candidates were watching from the sidelines.
Renee's eyes wandered between Baker and Hogg.
In the end, it settled on Hogg.
Baker's bald head and green eyebrows made her look a little scared.
In contrast, the cheerful-looking Hogg seems easier to deal with.
"Alas, it seems that I have been treated as a soft persimmon again."
Hogg stood up from the armchair angrily, turned around and said to his partner: "Give this Renee 20 points."
"Already noted it down!"
Baker held the roster and quill, with +20 behind Renee's name.
"Add points……?"
Renee looked confused.
The candidates on the sidelines were also in an uproar!
"Ahem! That's it. In previous years, the order of playing was determined by drawing lots. This year, the rules have been temporarily changed. The first player to appear will get an extra 20 points."
Baker said nonchalantly.
"Why?!" Linda screamed angrily, "There are such rules, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Yes! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"The drawing of lots was fine, why did the rules suddenly change?!"
"You clearly intend to favor Renee!"
"This is not fair! There is a shady secret in the examination room!"
"We want to protest! We want to accuse!"
Matthew, Weber and Truth also had angry faces.
Allen did not participate in their protest.
I thought it was funny at first, but then I became depressed.
Silly girl got 20 points for nothing, maybe she can pass the exam!
This was not the result he wanted to see.
Beck noticed the change in his expression and cast a curious look.
"Alan, what do you think about this matter?"
"Senior Brother Baker, I think this is fair."
Allen replied expressionlessly.
"Everyone knows that the one who comes on first suffers the most."
"So some compensation should be given in terms of scores, which is very reasonable."
"The question is not whether it is reasonable or not!" Weber interrupted, "The question is why didn't you say it earlier?"
Allen glanced at him, worried about his IQ.
"If this rule were announced from the beginning, wouldn't you all be rushing to play first?"
"So before the exam starts, do you want to hold an internal selection competition to determine the first place to play?"
"When things go wrong, Renee is the only one willing to stand out."
"If there is an advantage to be taken advantage of, why don't you all have to fight for it?"
"Therefore, this rule, kept secret, is precisely to ensure the fairness of the examination and to maintain order in the examination room."
Weber and others were speechless.
Renee turned to look at Allen, her big watery eyes showing gratitude.
Among all the candidates, only Allen had not ridiculed her.
This handsome boy just filed a complaint for her.
She keeps it all in mind.
Allen noticed her strange gaze and felt a faint headache.
"Alan, you understand this, why don't you appear before Renee?" Hogg asked.
"Because I was also a hindsight."
Allen frankly admitted that he was not that smart.
Renee blinked, her IQ suddenly went up!
"Two examiners, if I ask a teammate to take the exam together, can each of them get 20 extra points?"
"It's not 20 points." Hogg shook his finger, "If two people come together, each person can only add 10 points."
"Additional 10 points...that's a lot!"
Renee murmured to herself.
Seeing her like this, Allen suddenly felt a strong sense of foreboding!
Could this silly girl...?
What are you afraid of, what will come.
Renee turned around and looked at him with joy on her face.
"Junior Brother Allen, come and form a team with me! You can also get 10 extra points!"
